William and John Tekell - to London?I am looking for a link between the Tekells of Stroud and the Tekells of London. William Tekell was married to Ann, and John Tekell was married to Elizabeth. Both families had children baptised on the same day (25 Dec 1790) in St James, Westminster - Martha and Thomas respectively. There were other children by both marriages. Are William and Thomas brothers? Where did they come from? Most Tekells seem to come from Horsley and Stroud in Gloucestershire, so is there a link between London Tekells and Stroud Tekells? Does anyone have John and William Tekell in their tree? Any help would be much appreciated.
